Development of copper wire laying techniques for 3D printing

Additive manufacturing has evolved beyond fabricating standard components that possess only mechanical or structural functionalities into manufacturing components with multiple functionalities (multi-functional components). And the outlook of a standard 3D printer has changed into a multiple-process...

description Additive manufacturing has evolved beyond fabricating standard components that possess only mechanical or structural functionalities into manufacturing components with multiple functionalities (multi-functional components). And the outlook of a standard 3D printer has changed into a multiple-process (multi-process) 3D printer or a hybrid 3D printer that fabricates parts with multi-functionalities. Recent interest in additive manufacturing came from the numerous benefits that additive manufacturing gives when employed to fabricate 3D electronics with multi-functionalities. This project aims to develop an automated large format hybrid 3D printer capable of embedding copper wire into its 3D printed substrate.
